Is it possible in zoom to turn off everyone's incoming video (without affecting anyone else's experience or ability to see each other) so I can hear the one person speaking when I'm in low-bandwidth situations?

All I need is to hear Carol in accounting giving her daily standup; I don't need my crappy hotel Wi-Fi processing 50 video feeds of random employees staring at their monitors gunking up my bandwidth.

No, but maybe use the dial-in number on your phone?

No prob, that’s why they pay me the medium bucks.

You can pin/spotlight so that you're only seeing the one person speaking. But I don't know if that actually reduces any bandwidth

Helpful, thanks!

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus.

How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.
